    I bought this tint off ebay which comes in a roll (cheap sh1te) and it turns out its quite hard to get it on without bubbles/ cracks. Would a mechanic or some other car fella do it for me?i searched up tips and some1 said they would but i think that was the us...

    Haven't heard of anyone getting that stuff on properly.
    Some swear by putting a film of washing up liquid on first to the window.
    There is a pro in town who charges 50 euro a window. Some american stuff; has metal in it he said!

    Hiya,

    its roughly €45 per side window and €75 for a rear window in VisionFX and you can choose your tint.

    join the bebo page for special offers http://www.bebo.com/VisionFXtint

    It is really hard to put it on if you're not used to the stuff and you end up wasting loads of film!!!

    Save yourself the time, frustration and hair loss, and get it done professionally. The cheap **** on rolls is one step above that manky contact for covering school books :D
